When people say these will be limited, what does that mean exactly? I don't really follow WarmaHordes, but some of these look interesting for use elsewhere.

The main factions in Warmahordes get new units pretty regularly, but some of the small factions are limited releases meaning Privateer Press won't be adding new models to that faction after release.

So theoretically 5 years from now Khador (a main faction) will still get new warjacks, infantry etc, but limited factions like Cyriss, these Crucible Guard and Grymkin will only have the designs Privateer made when they were released.

Limited factions are essentially PP's way to expand the game with a brand new army, but in short bursts. They'll get some new stuff at irregular intervals, but won't get regular releases like the prime armies.

This way the limited factions can use new mechanics and features as well as remain balanced, without bloating the game nor having PP slave itself to way too many factions in long term support.

The other aspect is that limited release factions get a large block of their releases in a very short span of time. So its a one-big-release that lets the army get off the ground fast.

The Convergence of Cyriss is an example of their previous limited release faction.

Remembering that the nature of Warmachine means that PP can give a faction a very new twist by just releasing a new warcaster model to lead a force; bringing its own quirks and features which can often change up how the faction plays out under their command.

Ah OK good, thanks folks. I was worried we were talking GW-style "you can only buy these models on the next night of the Blood Moon from out of the back of a van in rural Alabama and then they're gone forever" limited release

"The language of modern British politics is meant to sound benign. But words do not mean what they seem to mean. 'Reform' actually means 'cut' or 'end'. 'Flexibility' really means 'exploit'. 'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal

I feel like if you accepted the fact that the world has dudes willing to wear steam powered
armor even though the fluff admits that some men boil alive inside those suits, you're pretty
much right there with these sculpts.

According to the soliciation, all of this new stuff including Sorscha, the Officers, and Tankers are a mix of Resin and Metal parts. There's no new MoW kits, so the units are still in plastic. As for the Crucible Guard? PP has done some small base resins recently, but its hard to say. The 10 mans out of Grymkin were plastic as were the piggybacks, but the cav were metal and the 6 man small based unit was resin. I'd not be surprised to see the rocketmen in plastic, but resin might be possible.
